WHAT: The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) is offering free museum admission to any visitor who wears a mustachereal or fakefrom Friday, Aug. 3 to Sunday, Aug. 5 during regular museum hours. The promotion celebrates the eccentric appearance of Salvador Dalí, whose paintingSoft Construction with Boiled Beansis currently on view in the DIA's exhibition Five Spanish Masterpieces.

That weekend, visitors can enjoy a variety of museum programs, including The Dalí Projecta puppet performance that explores Dalí's embrace of the subconscious through various forms of puppetrypresented by Puppet Junction. Note: Performances on Friday and Saturday are appropriate for adults only; Sunday's performance is appropriate for ages eight and up.

Schedule of performances:

Friday, Aug. 3, 8 p.m.

The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), one of the premier art museums in the United States, is home to more than 60,000 works that comprise a multicultural survey of human creativity from ancient times through the 21st century. From the first Van Gogh painting to enter a U.S. museum (Self-Portrait, 1887), to Diego Rivera's world-renowned Detroit Industry murals (193233), the DIA's collection is known for its quality, range, and depth.

The DIA's mission is to create opportunities for all visitors to find personal meaning in art.
